PENTAGRAM announce new drummer

After weeks of extensive auditions, occult rock legends PENTAGRAM have found a full-time drummer in Virginia Native Sean Saley. Sean’s debut with the band begins during this summer’s European Festival Circuit, which starts with Sweden Rock in Sölvesborg, Sweden.

Sean stated before flying to his debut at Sweden Rock, “I’m more than excited, honored and ready to rock as part of the essential heavy metal institution that is Pentagram. They’re local favorites and idols to me.”

PENTAGRAM will be playing alongside rock and metal bands such as Blue Öyster Cult, Motörhead, Twister Sister, and The Darkness to name a few. For more info, go to http://www.swedenrock.com/. From there the band will continue to tour Europe before heading back home to the states.

Influenced by the likes of Bill Ward, Ian Paice, and Les Binks, drummer Sean Saley grew up on hard rock and heavy metal before taking a turn as drummer for DC underground punk legends GOVERNMENT ISSUE in the 80s. Anyone familiar with the Maryland metal scene may also remember Sean from 90s-era technical/doom/thrash wizards ANGSTROM, which also featured blind guitarist Torey Ferguson. Sean had been a longtime PENTAGRAM fan before joining the band in 2012.
